Guam - Hawaii state representative Gene Ward says he plans on introducing a resolution in the 2011 Hawaii Legislature that would ask Governor Neil Abercrombie to ask the federal government to move the International Dateline so that Hawaii would become "The Place Where America Begins Its Day". Ward adds, "More important, we could truly become the gateway to Asia".

Representative Ward's column was printed in today's edition of the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
